The little filly started a bit, perhaps making the forest guardian's work a bit more tricky for a moment or two. The water definitely seemed out to get the little one, but she seemed resilient enough to at least continue her attempts at bobbing for apples.
Heaving in a determined breath into her lungs, Out of Orbit pawed a bit at the bucket before once more stretching forward, slowly homing in on her precious yellow apple. The fruit bobbed and swayed, slowly turning until the apple's stem was facing the sky.
It was her chance to strike!
She leaned in and nipped lightly. Much to her surprise, her teeth caught upon something solid. Like a fisher, she attempted to reel herself back with her catch, toppling backwards and rolling so her belly was exposed to the ceiling.
She had closed her eyes in all the commotion, but she felt something on her stomach. Slowly opening one eye, she caught a hint of yellow.

"It's no fun to play games if you just do it by yerself. How else can you show people just how good you are?" Boss asked. "We can play Halo, but you have to come over to my place to play that. They don't have it at the arcade. They have other racin' and fightin' games on arcade boxes, though. Which do wanna try first?"
He paused, glancing at Hook Slash's hook. He had forgotten that the colt had only one front hoof to play with unless he could somehow figure out how to use his hook to manipulate controls as well. Maybe the joysticks at the arcade might be easier for him to do that with because he wasn't sure how Hook would manage with a game console controller. Maybe that was why the other foal hadn't gotten much of a chance to play video games until now. Good thing there were other games that didn't really require the use of controllers anymore.

Jolly Roger was reminded of his first time stepping aboard a ship, how the roll of the water beneath him had made his legs unsteady. It had taken time to get used to it and now he didn’t even notice, adjusting automatically. Perhaps that was what this was. This strange almost courtship. If he just spent more time, everything would stop being so confusing.
"New," he repeated the word with a great deal of skepticism. Surely he wouldn’t be the first to make such an offer? The stallion was handsome and kind with a great smile. There should be a line out the door. But there wasn’t and Jolly Roger was the one here, with a nose against his cheek and an offer he couldn’t refuse.
"Aye, let’s go."

Shaking her head, Cotton waved a hoof at him playfully. "You think so? About my ... civilian name... and purpose." she laughed again, pondering on all that he said. Did Cotton Fluff really sum up all of what made her her? Technically speaking, she probably would guess no, but then something of that nature.... well she hadn't ever thought of it that way. It was just her. Just plain simple her and to her.... it summed everything up nicely. Especially since it was her own feelings. "I'm sure its the same for you though, for Smooth Swing. But I bet to you.... it feels perfect in every way." she nodded softly, a more softer smile than the one she had before.
At his request however, she couldn't help but laugh again. "Its no trouble at all, it is what I live for after all!" she teased him, casting him a coy glance. "Making a little Captain should be no trouble at all. He would be made with all the love. And I'm sure extremely special and unique all in his own right." she said, determined. It was now her goal, number one priority, as soon as she got home; to start working on the layout for a little Pegasus pony resembling none other than Captain America himself.
Several times Caramell thought Orbit was going to take a tumble into the bucket below, but each time the filly seemed to best gravity and remain balanced upon the barrel. But then the yellow apple dared to show its face once more.
"Go go go." Caramell whispered with determination, rooting the little one on even more. She threw her pawed hooves out again, front legs stretched to their limits on either side of the filly as she watched the cutest ballerina lunge yet again for the apple.
And success! She had snagged the beast and bested the yellow creature!
But not quite gravity!
Frantic, Caramell panicked for a split second as Orbit seemed to topple backwards, little tummy raised towards the sky. Her 'paws' darted forward and then together as she did her best to stop the filly's fall, or at least most of it, letting her have a more comfortable surface to land upon. But low and behold, on the cutest ballerina's chest was that yellow orb that had caused her so much trouble. "You did it!!" she cheered, a big grin plastered all over her face.

Out of Orbit was all smiles as Totoro congratulated the little filly. Not that she understood why she was smiling so much. Beaming with pride, the filly exclaimed "Look Totoro! Look! I got it! I got it!" She held up the yellow apple with her hooves, eager to show it off.
However, she suddenly realized one thing that was missing.
"Oh! Um... so...what am I supposed to do with the apple now?" Did Out of Orbit get to keep it now? Was she supposed to eat it now? If she didn't eat it now, was she doomed to remain a ballerina Phony for the rest of the year?!
Clearly Totoro would have all the answers she needed!

"I suppose that's understandable...especially on Halloween night," the stallion conceded. "I'm not sure I'd care to be part of a mystery, but I have heard of parties like that. I hope you find something that satisfies your sense of adventure, in any case, so long as it doesn't come at the cost of you getting hurt or worse."
Hard Truths might have once found the orange foal's conviction to be annoying, but now that he had children of his own, he became curious instead. What made him feel so dead-set on being there if something happened? Was he worried about getting wrong or biased information? Did he want to do something about the event; participate or intervene?
"Did it?" the unicorn asked, tilting his head slightly. "Care to elaborate?"

"Oh... Fighting! Wow! Thanks!" He was excited. He'd never been invited to another person's house. "Oh umm.. I'd need to know where you live?"
